(MATURE) Bylines in Blood by Erica Schultz – New Paperback

Step into a future where the truth is the most dangerous commodity of all in Bylines in Blood.

This item is Brand New, perfect for fans of cyberpunk mysteries, political conspiracies, and stories like Transmetropolitan or Blade Runner.

In a World of "Alternative Facts," the Truth is Fatal

• The Story: In a near-future where the "The Great Die-Off" has wiped out the internet and reliable information, independent journalism is dead—replaced by state-sponsored propaganda. Satya Chatterjee is a "jaded hack" turned private investigator who specializes in finding the one thing no one wants to hear: the truth.

• A Neo-Noir Mystery: When her former mentor is murdered, Satya is pulled into a conspiracy that reaches the highest levels of the new world order. She must use her old-school investigative skills to navigate a city where every shadow hides a secret.

• Dynamic Creative Team: Erica Schultz and Van Jensen craft a sharp, cynical, and timely narrative that explores the death of facts and the cost of integrity.

• Atmospheric Art: Aneke’s illustrations perfectly capture the rain-slicked, neon-lit grime of a low-tech future, bringing a visceral energy to every interrogation and foot chase.
